HANGER FOE MOTEIPROOF BAGS.

Application filed fieptember at, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I Gaonoa Roq'rMAN, a citizen of the United btates,residing at 175 Madison St., New York city, in the county of New Yorkand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Hangers for Mothproof Bags, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to a new and improved attaching means for thehooksof papir bags, such as moth-proof bags or the In manufacturingmoth-proof and dustproof bags, considerable difficulty has been hithertoexperienced in securing the hook of the bag to the body thereof. Whenthe weight of the arment was placed upon the hook, the bag requentlytore and very often a space was left between the hook and the bag, atthe point where the hook passed through the bag, through which mothscould enter.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a new and improvedattachment between a hook and a paper bag.

Another object of my invention is to provide a connection which shall bemoth-proof.

Another object of my invention is to provide an attachment in which theinner part of the hook, that is, that part of the hook which is locatedwithin the bag, is protected by the body of the attachment itself.

Other objects of my invention will be set forth in the followingdescription and drawings which illustrate a preferred embodimentthereof.

Fig. 1 is an elevation showing the complete device.

Fig. 2 'is a detail elevation.

3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of ig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a side view of the inner part of myF attachment.

ig. 5 is a side view of the outer part of my attachment.

Fig. 6 is a top view of the inner part or member of my attachment.

Fig. 7 is a top view of the outer part or member of my attachment.

Fig. 8 is a side view showing a difierent form of hook.

. Fig. 9 is an elevation showing a, different embodiment of the innermember.

Fig. 10 is a section on the line 10-10 of Fig. 9.

The bag 1, which is made of paper in any serial No. 502,973.

suitable manner, is adapted to have an outer hook 2, secured thereto,whereby it can be hung upon a nail or the like, and it is also adaptedto have an inner hook 3, connected thereto, upon which a coat or othergarment may be hung.

The attaching device consists of an inner plate 4 and an outer plate 5,both of which are preferably made out of any suitable metal.

As can be clearly seen in Figs. 5 and 7 the outer plate 5 has a bead ordepression 6, stamped out of its body at the upper artthereof, throughwhich the lower end of hook 2 can be passed so that the outer plate 5can be supported by means of the hook 2.

The inner plate 4 has four staples 8 stamped out of the body thereof, atthe four corners thereof, and the outer plate 5 is provided withcorresponding perforations so that the staples 8. can be insertedthrough the said perforations and then bent down as clearly illustratedin Figs. 3 and 10 for exam le.

once by simply forcing the staples 8 throu h the body of the bag, andbending them ownwardly, the inner plate 5 and the outer plate 4, can berigidly secured.

The inner plate .4 has upraised portions 9 stamped out therefrom and italso has a central bead 10, stamped out therefrom. An inner book 3 isadapted to have its shank passed through the central body 10, so thatthe inner hook- 3 is entirely supported by the inner plate 4.

. When the hook 3 is revolved so as to be parallel to the inner plate 4,it is entirely within the u raised or embossed portion 9, so that thearticle can be transported in a very compact condition and without anydanger of anything catching upon the inner hook 3.

The top of the bag 1s provided with any suitable closure C. In Fig. 9the embossing 9, for guarding the hook 3. is in a difierent form, and inFig. 8 the inner hook '3' is also differently shaped.

It is obvious that the said inner plates and outer plates can be formedby a single stamping or die operation and that the parts can be simplyand cheaply made and can be Ira idly and efficiently assembled.

t is obvious that since the hook end 7 is substantially parallel to theplates 4 and 5, that the entire wei ht of the bag is borne by the head6, and t at none of the strain is borne by the bag itself. I

I have described a preferred embodiment of myl invention, but it isclear that numerous c anges and omissions can be made without departingfrom its spirit.

As can be seen from Fig. 3 for example, the inner plate 4 has a flatinner face adjacent the staples 8, and the Outer plate 4 has a similarflat face adjacent its perforations. These flat plates can be firmlyclamped against the wall of the bag so as to prevent the entrance of anydust through the openings in the wall of the bag through which thetongues or staples pass. It is therefore unnecessary to have a tight ordust-proof fit between the other parts of the device.

What I claim is:

1. In combination with a bag, an inner plate having a hollow beadprojecting therevfrom, and an outer plate having hook-attaching means,interengaging means on said plates to clamp them upon opposite sides ofthe bag, and a hook swiveled'in said bead and foldable against saidinner plate.

2. In combination with a bag, an inner plate having a hollow beadprojecting therefrom, and an outer plate having hook-attaching means,interengaging means on said plates to clamp them upon opposite sides ofthe bag, and a hook swiveled in said head and foldable against saidinner plate, the inner plate being formed with upraised portions withinwhich said swiveled hook is adapted to be confined when folded flatagainst said inner plate.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

GEORGE ROTTMAN.
